The Hoover Institution Library & Archives are pleased to accept applications for participation in the 2015 Hoover Archives Summer Workshop on Totalitarian Regimes. Held at Stanford's Hoover Institution from July 20-31, 2015, the workshop brings together an interdisciplinary slate of scholars who are using the collections of the Hoover Institution Library & Archives to study totalitarian regimes, broadly defined. A wide range of research is suitable for this program, limited only by the holdings of the Hoover Library & Archives itself. Scholars from any field who would benefit from immersion in the archives are welcome. Participants must be holders of the Ph.D. or scholars with a commensurate publication record, or be advanced graduate students.

The Hoover Archives recently acquired the papers of Ernest M. “Allie” Allison (1894–1976), an American aviator who helped advance China’s burgeoning aviation industry when that country faced a Japanese invasion and struggled with internal turmoil. Much of the collection documents Allison's years in China (intermittently between 1929 and 1949) when he served as chief pilot, operations manager, and vice-president-elect of the China National Aviation Corporation (CNAC) and an adviser to the Aeronautical Commission.
